tool would make the adjusting easy, but I did these cars for years with out the special tool, I just used a pry bar to move the lower control arm any direction which was needed to correct the caster /camber. If you jack up the car to the point where the front tires are only just toching the pad/street/turn plate or whatever the control arm is easy to move.
good luck,Johnny

While fundamentally true, having the tool makes it a LOT easier, quicker, and more accurate....

The tool is made by Kent-Moore, and the part number is J-38658
